Description

Designed by Sergio Rodrigues (1927-2014) in 1973 and produced by Oca, the Kilin armchair is composed of two sides and two cross pieces of Brazilian Rosewood, known as Jacaranda, with the back and seat made from a unique piece of leather.

The bold design, with shapes and fittings of wood leather floating in the air and prepared to shape and hug the body, makes Kilin the favorite piece of many people.

The name is a tribute to Rodrigues's wife, Vera Beatriz (1931-2017), who he affectionately called "little squirrel." Kilin is an adaptation of the Brazilian word for the nickname "esquilinho".
